My stay at the hotel was very good, I was very well received, the hotel is rustic (all made of wood) with a very beautiful decoration. Jay took me to see the old city and was an excellent guide. I recommend!

FABULOUS STAY! The boss and family are super kind and very helpful. They helped us arrange a bike to enjoy the Napa lake and also took us to the airport. The room is BEAUTIFUL and the bathtub is super relaxing. Lots of hot water and really warm underfloor heating to keep you cosy in the winter. There is also a stunning view of the temple from bed. We first came in 2022 and now returned in 2024, hopefully we can come again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from Property: Thank you for your affirmation, such a thoughtful evaluation, we will continue to work hard as always. Grateful to meet, wish family happiness and well-being! Everything goes well! Welcome to visit again!

It's a cosy guesthouse modified from traditional Tibetian home right at the edge of the ancient town. Good amenities, glossaries, eateries and attraction within minutes walk. Big room, warm floor, big windows. Our host was super friendly and helpful. Recomemded places and bring us around and we chill out drinking tea in the evenings.
For our family from tropical country, the guesthouse itself is an attraction. Especially when the family experienced snow for the first time. The host got us a snow board and we played the whole morning with kids in the neighborhood and built an ugly snow man. The kids loved September, the golden retriever that so adorably helped us to bring the slade up the slope. We really loved the place, experiences and the people. Real, authentic and feels like old friend.

I rarely stay in B&Bs. This inn has a typical ******* style. I like it very much!
The location is also very convenient for traveling, very close to the ancient city.
The boss's service is also very attentive, all-round, and feels like home!

The decoration of the Tibetan-style room is basically the same as the picture (but the stove is for decoration and cannot be used), the facilities are relatively old, and the hygiene is average. The floor is dirty and the bathroom trash can contains garbage from before moving in. Half of the landscape outside the window is lawn, and the other half is decoration and decoration garbage.
We were originally going to stay for five nights, but we wanted to check out right after we checked in because there was a strong smell of backwater from the sewers. The boss said that no one had mentioned this problem and that his nose was not sensitive, but we both smelled it. We smelled this smell all night long and made us want to vomit. Closing the toilet door is useless because there is a sink and bathtub connected to the sewer in the room. The boss gave us a refund for the remaining four nights, but we couldn't refund the first night.
We were woken up by the sound of renovations at 7:30 the next day. When I went out to take a look, it turned out that the building next door was also being renovated. We fled the room quickly.

Response from Property: First of all, thank you very much for choosing our inn in the first place. I apologize for the bad experience I brought you. As for the issues you mentioned, I think I still have to explain. First, we are a Tibetan-style hotel. The B&B is all made of wooden structure, which is of course a retro style. In addition, the rooms are equipped with floor heating. The stove itself is a decoration that embodies the ******* style. Besides, burning a fire in the room also poses a huge safety hazard, right? ? What's more, the room also has floor heating, so it won't be cold at all. Secondly, you said that the room smells like reflux, and I don’t need to argue with you. Maybe everyone’s sensitivity is different. This is the fact. The store has been open for so long, and the guests staying every day are different, and I have never heard any reaction from any guest. There is a peculiar smell. Of course, if you bring it up this time, we will take it seriously. At that time, we also sincerely solved the problem with you and upgraded you to a deluxe double bed room in another inn of mine for free. It is more cost-effective than this one, or else We will refund you the remaining days of room charges. You chose the latter, and we respect your decision. Third, you said that the room was a bit noisy. The hotel next door was undergoing renovations, so this might be a bit noisy. Of course, this is also a special situation, and it is not something you or I can control. Some decoration wood was left on the lawn, which also affected the noise. The scenery it deserves, this is also temporary, right? Of course, we can understand the bad experience we have brought to you and apologize deeply! Finally, I wish my family happiness and good people a safe life! Tashi Delek!

The room can see Shangri-La, Dukezong Ancient City, and Guishan Park. It only takes 7 or 8 minutes to go to Moonlight Square, Gezhuangwu Square and the Prayer Wheel, which is very convenient. The inn has specialized surrounding tour and car services, which can provide viewing, customized hiking, and Meili Snow Mountain photography.

This homestay is near Dukezong Ancient Town, a 2-minute walk away, and very close to Shangri-La High-speed Railway Station, about 15 minutes away by taxi. The owner is a young girl and is very nice. We contacted the owner to pick us up after we got off the high-speed train. The room was very clean. It was a Tibetan-style room with a heated bed and an electric blanket, which was very warm. The owner was very enthusiastic.

Generally speaking, traditional ******* houses are beautifully decorated, but the sound insulation is not very good. Also, before checking in, you need to ask if you can charge the car before checking in. The location is a bit remote.

Response from Property: Thank you for your sincere review. Yes, ours is a traditional ******* wooden structure. The sound insulation is not as good as that of a mud-tile house, but we have also been soundproofed. What about the location? We are in the ancient city. Although it is not in the bustling center, but It’s only a few minutes’ walk to go to the Grand Buddha Temple to turn the prayer wheels and Moonlight Plaza. Is this considered too far away? We still welcome you to visit us again. May everything go well and your family be happy! Tashi Delek!

There is floor heating, the room is large, ******* style, the landlady and the little brother are very friendly! The child had a fever in the middle of the night. My brother took us to the hospital and also sent us an oxygen concentrator. Thank you very much!

A very beautiful and warm inn! The decoration is really beautiful and unique! ! The boss is also very nice🥹Any problems can be solved in time! The room is also very clean and sanitary. It is also very close to the ancient city, just walk down! My favorite is September, the inn’s dog! ! Very well behaved and obedient! He is not afraid of strangers, has a good temper, and does not yell at anyone at all! I will definitely experience it again if I have a chance in the summer!

After the exam, I flew directly to Shangri-La to relax. The room was so big and beautiful. It was a traditional ******* wooden house. It was very atmospheric when taking photos. There was floor heating or electric blankets in the room, so you didn’t have to worry about being cold at night. It's very close to the ancient city, just on the edge of the ancient city. I have very good sleeping requirements. This location is just right and quiet. When I have nothing to do during the day, I play with the golden retriever.
The boss is super nice. I had a high fever just after getting off the plane. The boss took great care of me. He would give me medicine and recommend places to go. He also took great care of girls. It was really great.
The price is not expensive, the room is very clean, and the door is full of photos and feels very warm. I like it! Will come here next time!

The environment has the flavor of a local old house. It is very close to Sifang Street in the ancient city. It is very convenient. The proprietress is very nice. It is worth recommending to friends.
